- Jensson 4y ago> Supermarket bread is crap anyway Not in Europe. Maybe the reason it is crap in USA is because people don't shop daily and hence they don't buy good bread there? If you optimize bread to taste good after a week instead of tasting good after a day then I can see why American brands put so much sugar in their breads.
- mantas 4y agoI am 100% born and raised euro :) mainstream bread is still crap. Take a look at bread labels. Maybe our bread is not as bad as US, but there’s tons of sugar and other additives. And raising procedures are cutting corners. Sometimes I buy high quality bread from a small bakery. Tastes great and stays great. I find this applies to rye bread only. White bread doesn’t seem to work this way.
- Jensson 4y agoI look at the labels, the only ingredients marked on the bread I buy is wheat flour and salt. There are many brands with more stuff in them, sure, but not all are like that. Doesn't last very long though.
- mantas 4y agoWheat bread may be the issue. Rye bread lasts much much longer.
- astrange 4y agoThis “bad US supermarket bread” doesn’t exist in California. We have even surpassed whole wheat and only eat sprouted seed breads and something that claims to be keto bread somehow. It does exist in Japan. You may think they’re healthy but they eat the worst wheat products imaginable. Even white bread isn’t white enough for them; they cut the crusts off their 711 sandwiches and have whiter than white meat buns.
- jokethrowaway 4y agoThat really depends on the country, even in Europe. Some are good, some are bad. Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Greece have usually pretty good bread in your typical supermarket. Northern countries tend to fare worse in my experience.
- mantas 4y agoAnd then there're different breads. Northern/east? style rye bread vs south/west? wheat. Both are different how well they stay for longer time and how you can mess them up.
